The Committee notes from the Government's last report that no progress has been made in applying the Convention and that there is still no pension scheme for seafarers, as provided for by the Convention and section 142 of Act No. 212/AN/82 issuing the Shipping Code. The Committee notes, however, the Government's statement in its report on the application of Convention No. 56, that it will do its utmost to adopt legislation to implement the above Act. It hopes that the Government's next report will contain information on any progress made in establishing a pension scheme for seafarers.
